Vegas has to be a great place for music because that’s where we’re from I want it to be stronger than ever.Įarlier I mentioned to you that I produced the nationally syndicated show Rockline for five years, from ’92 to ’97 and KOMP was a longtime affiliate.
As long as they keep the city on the map, that’s important to me. We have a great fan base in Las Vegas and I know there’s a lot of competition with a lot of shows coming through, a lot of performances every night, a lot of nightclubs and stuff, but I’m proud of the rock station KOMP 92.3 in Vegas it’s very supportive and I’m proud of the rock fans in Vegas and they’re very supportive. Yeah! Oh yeah! The Vegas scene is beautiful. Is there a Sin City music scene, and if so, what’s it like? Very quickly: you formed in Las Vegas, released your self-titled debut album in 2009, your second record, Home School Valedictorian, in 2011 and your third, Stuck, just last year. The fact that I’ve shared stages with bands like Incubus and Guns N’ Roses and Deftones it blows my mind because I remember at one time I was just lying in an apartment singing the words and the melodies that came to me, but I think emotions is what got me. I used to sit in my room playing video games listening to Nirvana and Rage Against the Machine and so many great bands. The love came from the first song I ever wrote called “Brother,” about my brother he’s addicted to heroin. It started out for me lying in an apartment on my back looking up at the ceiling just singing and writing lyrics. You know, I never knew that the music business was what it was. So, before we get deeper into the record, I wanted to begin by asking what made you want to form the band how you made your way to forming Adelitas way. That’s a subject I was gonna touch on a little bit later but we kicked it off with that, so I got my answer. We felt like it was a good reward for the fans who supported us since day one and we’re gonna continue to put music out as we please.Ĭool. They try to make it way more difficult than it is and we wanted to show fans that while record labels are pushing releases back and not releasing albums not only are we releasing our album but we’re doing it a week early because we want to we felt like it.
We did three major label records on Virgin Records and one of the things we didn’t like, when we look back at our career, was just the whole process of releasing an album. You know we’re doing this record on our own it’s our first on our own. We released it a week earlier because we wanted to, so it’s out today! So before we start talking about your new EP, Deserve This, which comes out March 17, by the way…

At press time the group was 95 percent towards its goal in other words, well on its way towards being able to bring their brand of Sin City rock and roll straight to followers without any corporate suits or gatekeepers in the way. In addition to self-releasing Deserve This – earlier than the originally announced release date, Adelitas Way is already working on its fourth full-length studio album which the band hopes to complete and release with the help of fans via a Pledge Music campaign. The move to do our own thing was an easy one.” So I vowed to myself that’s never gonna happen again and we’re gonna put music out when we want. There was a point where I had a one-year old baby and I couldn’t feed her because they wouldn’t let me put music out and they wouldn’t let me tour. “The whole time we were making the third album they were telling us rock is dead and that we needed to make a different kind of record there was a lot of back and forth, a lot of discomfort, a lot of arguments, a lot of disagreeing and you could tell by how the album cycle went they didn’t fully invest in the record. They are very, very anti-rock and roll right now,” DeJesus said right at the outset of our recent conversation about his band’s brand new five-song EP, Deserve This, released on the Vegas Syn label. “You know I don’t even think our third record belonged on Virgin. Rick DeJesus, frontman and founding member of Las Vegas hard rock unit Adelitas Way, is not about to let a rancorous relationship with a now former major record label get in the way of making the type of music he wants to make and releasing said music when and how he wants.
